GOLD EFT have traditionally been charging 1.5 to 2.5% as an entry load. In my opinion this would be a waste of money. After this is open to public investment, it would be a cheaper way to buy these in the stock market and pay lesser entry load.

Though currently the market is being hit with speculations about crude increase. Thus it might make sense to buy the traded Benchmark Gold EFT and the UTI Gold EFT in the stockmarkets now... might be better than waiting for Kotak's listing
